Hey Ho, OH NO!

Sorry to start the first day back after the bank holiday with bad news, but...

Joey Ramone (real name Jeff Hyman) died on Sunday, the 15th of April at the age of 49, after a long battle with Lymphoma.

Lead singer for over twenty years with the other most influential band ever (after Pixies) The Ramones, he will be sadly missed.

In the words of Helen Love:

He's seven foot tall

Arms down to the floor

In his ripped up jeans

He's making me scream

Oh Joey

Joey Ramoney

He's got long black hair

He jumps in the air

When he counts up to four

It's like a nuclear war

Oh Joey

Joey Ramoney
